We are a values led school; our three core values being respect, honesty and resilience. These core values, along with staff having the highest expectations of every pupil underpin our desire to ensure that we are able to inspire confident learners, who will leave Northfield with a really good level of knowledge, skills and experience to thrive in an ever- changing world.
In February 2023, the school was inspected by OFSTED and judged to be good in all areas. The report acknowledges the hard work of leaders, staff and governors in bringing about positive change and constructing a high-quality curriculum. Ofsted highlights that pupils behave well and that staff and pupils get on well with strong and effective pastoral care available.
The exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular activities offered by the school as well as its strong personal development programme are also highlighted in the report.
Northfield is a popular school. To cater for the significant demand in places, a 330 place state-of-the art multi-million pound Year 7 School was built on site and opened in September 2018.
